A member asked:
Is it possible to detox from heroin while under anesthetic like the guy in the novel "phoenix"?

Yes: It is possible to undergo what it called ultra rapid detox. You are anesthetized and given intravenous reversal agents. It takes many hours and and you wake up feeling horrible. Sorry there is no magic bullet.

Possibly: There have been reports of this, but seek out a university medical school training center or google specialists in this field. It has been known to be a treatment, but check with an addiction specialist.
